Summer annual color doesn’t just fill a garden—it transforms it. It spills across beds and borders, weaving together warmth, light, and movement into something you can almost feel. These blooms capture the spirit of the season—joyful, fleeting, and alive—like long afternoons that stretch just a little further than expected.
